I'll take the high road

Hey there!

I’m back from Scotland, to find that the weather has travelled with us to London! (Whooop). Here are a few shots from the holiday taken by my boyfriend and me. Hope you enjoy them and they prove that Scotland was warm and sunny (although perhaps not in the sea…). We ate so much good food and spent a lovely time with the boyfriend's godmother, seeing Paul Merton and visiting art galleries. It was a nice refresher from revision, but now it's back to work! What are you doing with your week?

So so cold. But worth it!

Tuneful Tuesdays

Hey guys. Is everyone enjoying the sunshine as much as me? I'm in Scotland for a few days to revise (hah) and chill for a bit so I am really enjoying this weather and apparently when I get back to London it's going to be the same! Wahoo. Just a quick post today, introducing a feature of the blog Tuneful Tuesdays! I will share one piece of music a week that I'm particularly enjoying at the moment or always enjoy, since I like to think that I have a wide range of music that I listen to (you may agree or disagree though!).

Today's post is from the band The Gaslight Anthem, who are strongly influenced by Bruce Springsteen and are in fact friends with him. This is my favourite track, hope you enjoy them as much as me:

Geometric

Heya! I'm just sitting downstairs waiting for my sister to come home so that my mum can sleep easy. Exciting times. Today I just spent translating some Latin (The Apoclocyntosis by Seneca if anyone knows it) and laughing at the jokes in it like the geek I am...Seriously though, if you know anything about Claudius' reign then it's extremely funny (I'm too cool).

Just to let you know that I'm on pinterest here if you're interested in following. I'm finding it really good to keep track of films and stuff I like - not to mention clothes I want!

 Here is another outfit for you, I actually really like this one, despite the fact that my hair looks very blue. This was some random day in autumn when it wasn't too cold and I decided to dress up. I was in Oxford with my boyfriend (since he's the one with the DSLR). New new outfits and more recent photos will be coming soon when I get a new camera/iPhone. For now it will just be old shots.

I really like this jacket even though I haven't worn it that much. What do you guys think of it? I was wearing these shorts and some guy told me to pull them down because I looked disgraceful. I don't think they're too short though, they just about pass the-bend-over-and-see-if-your-bum-is-hanging out test.

Do you guys go on pinterest/think it's good/bad? Let me know if you're on it and I'll follow back!

Bye for now x

First Post

So this is my new blog! I don’t really know what it will be like, just an exploration of my life, really, and what interests me most: music, films and fashion. It’s also a place to air my thoughts, particularly useful since I am recovering from depression and they say that writing out your thoughts is a good idea to clear out your mind. I will try to keep on the bright side of life though, because no-one likes anyone who complains and moans all the time.

Anyway, I thought that I’d start with my latest outfit:

This dress is really quite formal and I wore it for ‘formal formal’ at my boyfriend’s college in Oxford. It’s a very very posh meal in college, where you bring your own booze and then go to the bar after. Cue me getting extremely drunk and challenging my boyfriend to a girlfriend drink off, which I won! Anyway, back to the outfit, the jacket was a recent charity shop score, which I’ve been wearing non-stop and kind of makes the dress less formal to the extent which this might become an every day outfit. My boyfriend bought me the dress as a Christmas present a while ago. What do you think of it?
